SharePoint is part of the "Microsoft Office System" now and by announcing the office system RTM, Microsoft have announce the release of the sub-products. There is plenty of support for this deduction via sources close to Microsoft. As usual, the press release is only part of the story.
Posted by: CMSWire Editor on November 9, 2006 4:55 AMI still see no evidence that Microsoft has RTM'ed MOSS. Office 2007 desktop programs are available on MSDN downloads, but there is no trace of any MOSS server. If you have followed the MOSS industry, you would also know that it is by all means no where near ready for release. Microsoft hasn't even settled on MOSS pricing yet.

I know firsthand from MS personnel that SharePoint 2007 has been RTM'ed and MS have deployed the RTM version internally. Additionally, pricing is available, just call your MS rep and you can have it too. Finally, if you look at MSDN, the betas are no longer there and the whole structure has been updated. The builds are not yet there as of today, but rest assured, they will be soon.
Posted by: CMSWire Editor on November 14, 2006 3:24 AMDoes anyone know when the download for MOSS 2007 will be available on MSDN for download? I can't find the MOSS beta 2 dowload on MSDN... you've mentioned that it's been taken down.
Posted by: Mike on November 15, 2006 11:53 AMThe first round of official pricing is Open/Volume licensing and is PUBLICLY available on http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/mpla. Also the final product is now available to all Microsoft partners who participated in the beta and rapid-deployment program. There is no "release candidate" version - the latest beta 2 Technical Refresh (out for several months now) can be upgraded/migrated to the production version

Posted by: Shan on November 16, 2006 11:25 AMI stand corrected - Microsoft has RTMed MOSS 2007 - so much for the accuracy of my internal Microsoft contacts. Here is the link to the MOSS 2007 Trial download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2e6e5a9c-ebf6-4f7f-8467-f4de6bd6b831&DisplayLang=en

The press release makes no mention of Sharepoint (MOSS) being included in the RTM, yet the title of this article specifically says that it is.
